    Maybe next time don’t support someone that tried to overthrow the government.

      Did they support Trump though? He spoke at the RNC but his speech was vehemently anti-Republican.

        Honestly, as someone who lost their job, in part, thanks to Sean O’Brien, I really applauded his speech to the RNC. It was great.

            I definitely won’t go into it in details for obvious reasons, it’s mostly management failing to negotiate in good faith, just trying to say while I’ve plenty of personal reason to have beef with him, but really appreciate what he has to say

        Yeah - I was the first to criticize him for thing there, but the speech was very pro-union and a slap in the face to the GOP. He walked into the lion’s den giving double-fingers.

      And ya know is vehemently anti-labor. This guy was a fucking clown for deciding to make that speech at that venue.

        You need to go where people are to speak to them - I can’t speak to their personal motivations but they ended up delivering a good message to a bunch of folks that would never normally hear it because unions are “lib’ruhl”.

          He was stage managed and ended up simply giving bona fides to Trump’s “working man” schtick. It didn’t go well, it helped Trump, hurt democrats, and generally showed a hubris that ended up hurting the interests of labor unions.

          Want evidence? Look how many people in this thread took exactly the opposite message from his appearance at the RNC. Whatever his intentions, the actuality of the situation harmed the cause of organized labor.

          Politics is pragmatics. He got beat.
